Bumper was made until 1958, I suppose your watch is 1960. The only way to be sure is open the watch



At that time they didn’t use to indicate the caliber

Thanks I will go to a watch repairer to open it I hope it’s a 133.8 I know someone
who has a Zenith Captain from early 61 with a 133.8 movement there was probably an overlap !

Of course, production ended in 58 but they used it surely until 60 and maybe more

There is another way. I’ll give you a hint—it has to do with the term “bumper.” 😀

Yes I know the difference between a rotor and a bumper when you shake the watch you can hear something the spring ???

There was overlap because they had unused movements. Zenith didn’t assemble watches until there was an order to fill. If you want to know exactly when it was assembled, get an extract for €60

Hi
I’m new to this forum and perhaps a silly question. But isn’t the bumper movement with calendar a caliber 71?
